    Sahweet man, yeah one thing I dislike is messy wiring. I love it all tidy, loomed up and for the most part hidden.
    I'm glad you were able to get it out and ride it around, its been a long journey and lots of work, and still much more to be done! Can't wait to see what kind of numbers it'll make with the correct tune!

    well got with my buddy. were gonna trailer the car to another shop about 45mins away and get it tuned hopefully next week. but were going racing this weekend so if its a good weekend all should be well. if its a bad weekend may have to wait on the car.

    going to change the secondary fuel filter to a larger housing/filter element.

    ill let you guys know how everything goes.

    defiantly happy with the way it came out now.

    installed my boost gauge and plumbed in the vacuum/boost manifold to the intake. so now i have boost/vac references if needed.

    also tried to fix the pesky speed-o gear seal leak before Monday. fuel filter didn't show last night so hopefully after tonight it will get put on and i can recheck fuel psi.

    didnt have a orb to orb connection so -6 unions will have to work for now. going to push the limits of -6 fuel lines before stepping up to -8 supply really want to see the gains on the dyno instead of just hear say on the internet

    i did have to swap a wheel and tire this weekend and i figured i would see if on of our super latemodel tire/wheel would fit

    thats a 10x15 4" back space basset with a 27" tall tire clears the frame by about 1 3/4 but this tire has alot of side wall roll due to it being soft so im sure a drag radial will clear even better
